Zoe's Delight

Named after our resident Marine Manager, this dive site hides many small treasures. Dwarf lionfish, leopard cowries and nudibranches all make their homes here, while the hard corals are covered in a profusion of featherstars.

Zoe’s Delight is situated just a couple of minutes from the Paradise marina and, with its gentle current, is a big favouite with underwater photographers. Add in the resident shoal of schooling bannerfish and you have a dive site that truly has something for everybody.

upgrade you to the package as soon as you qualify for it.

Hunt the Nudibranch

If you fancy yourself to have a sharp pair of eyes, spend some time at the Paradise dive sites and find out how many different nudibranchs you can spot.

These slugs of the ocean come in a whole rainbow of colours and can range in size from very tiny to as big as your thumb.

Our favourite sites for nudi-spotting are Dolphin Bay and Coral Gardens. The record stands at 14 different types of nudibranch on one dive – can you do better than that?

Fish Factory

As one of our Divemasters says – this is the place where fish are made!

Situated on the inner side of Vuna Reef, Fish Factory can be dived on rising and falling tides, and is also great for snorkellers.

When we dived it yesterday, we saw two turtles and six whitetip reef sharks – plus a wealth of beautiful soft corals and hundreds of smaller reef fish.

With something for everybody, this is a diving and snorkelling site not to be missed!

Snorkel Surprise

You never know what you might see on a Paradise snorkel safari…

Imagine looking down through the clear blue waters to see a magnificent manta ray swimming past you. That’s exactly what happened to our guest, Giovanni, during his snorkel trip to ‘Steve’s Corner’. The ray circled him several times before gliding away into the distance. Lucky Giovanni!

Pictured is one of Giovanni’s fantastic shots of his close encounter with the manta ray.

Nocturnal Delights

A new addition to our Marine Activities is Night Snorkelling – and our guests have been having some great trips.

The snorkel adventure leaves from our marina and our experienced guide leads guests around the House Reef – complete with torches of course!

Featherstars, crabs and lionfish have all been common night-time sights, and some lucky snorkellers have even seen parrotfish hidden in the coral fast asleep.

New Dive Photos of Paradise

Paradise divers have been heading underwater with Pro Dive Taveuni and their cameras, taking advantage of the incredible visability.

Recently, Italian snorkeller Giovanni Fossati stayed in Paradise Taveuni in Fiji, with his partner Cecilia Clementi.

Giovanni took numerous photos of the underwater wonders around Paradise.

To see his photos, visit the gallery page on the Paradise Taveuni website.

Recently updated, the gallery features the many facets of Paradise Fiji - diving, adventures, accommodation and of course, the Fijian culture.

The Next Generation....

The next generation of Paradise divers have begun their diving careers - Litea, Laite and Aporosa (our fabulous meke dancers) all successfully completed their PADI Junior Open Water courses last week. Congratulations!

The kids coped admirably with the heavy gear and technical terms and proved themselves totally at ease in the water. Even the dreaded mask clearing was no problem!

The highlight for all 3 was spotting a blue ribbon eel on Paradise Reef. With fantastic diving right on their doorstep, it won't be long until they see a lot more of our favourite marine animals.

Manta Ray Visitor

New PADI Divemasters Wilson and Ilisoni had an unexpected visitor during their DM training dives – a Manta Ray!

The rest of the Pro Dive Taveuni team – Allan, Zoe and Manasa – were putting the boys through their paces on the House Reef when the graceful ray cruised past.

Manta rays are sometimes seen on our dive sites but to see one just 20m from our marina and in a depth of only 5m was an amazing moment.

The following day the same ray visited Paradise again, this time swooping past on the surface in front of the resort – much to the delight of all the guests.

Safe 'n' Sound in Paradise

Cyclone Daman has tried to get to Paradise - but NO GO!

The tropical cyclone is now north north east of the Fiji islands and is travelling out to sea. Taveuni has experience little wind and some rain over the last 2 days and therefore no damage to our garden island has occured.

This morning our dive boat took divers out to Vuna Reef to the Fish Factory. All resort activities and adventures are on schedule with the 2 hour cultural walk departing with Wilson and Guests and our guide taking the Mountain Trek Horseride a with other Guests.

So it's business as usual in Paradise and Taveuni!
